About the Job

Requirements

  • Have 8+ years of hands-on experience in AV operations, live event production, or technical event support.
  • Have owned the technical side of live productions end-to-end, rather than only operating a single position.
  • Bring working fluency across event audio, video, camera, and streaming systems, with enough depth to diagnose problems rather than only report them.
  • Be energized by serving as the front-facing technical partner to executives and event producers.
  • Bring structure to ambiguity by building systems for repeatable events.
  • Have a bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience.
  • Have a field of study relevant to the role, demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience.

Responsibilities

  • Own the technical execution of live and hybrid events, from small executive presentations to company-wide all-hands broadcasts reaching thousands of participants.
  • Serve as technical director for live productions, including executive presentations and company-wide broadcasts.
  • Operate production systems during live events, including video switchers, audio consoles, camera systems, playback, and streaming encoders.
  • Build and run the technical run-of-show, including cue sheets, source lists, rehearsal schedules, and backup plans.
  • Direct contractors and onsite technicians during productions, delegating clearly under time pressure.
  • Troubleshoot and escalate complex production issues with clear diagnostic context.
  • Communicate status, risk, and resolution to non-technical stakeholders in clear, calm, jargon-free language.
  • Handle confidentiality and access requirements for sensitive sessions, including recording and streaming controls.
  • Own the event technology intake process end-to-end, including request triage, technical scoping conversations, and staffing.
  • Right-size the production approach to each event type, translating stakeholder goals into an equipment and staffing plan that fits team constraints and service-level agreement scope.
  • Take on novel events and create a repeatable standard, such as a template, runbook, or gear list, to make subsequent events easier and repeatable by the team.
  • Maintain the event technology calendar and coordinate coverage across the AV Operations team.
  • Partner with Events, Internal Communications, and Workplace teams on lead times, expectations, and readiness.
  • Execute preventative maintenance programs and recurring room sweeps across event spaces and conference rooms.
  • Maintain and test equipment inventory, including wireless microphones, cameras, and portable production gear, before events and following the event production framework.
  • Contribute to runbooks, standard operating procedures, and knowledge base documentation.
  • Surface recurring operational pain points to AV Engineering as candidates for systemic fixes.

Desired Qualifications

  • Have experience providing technical direction for corporate broadcasts, conferences, or multi-camera productions.
  • Have experience with the Q-SYS digital signal processing platform, including reading and reasoning about existing audio/video routing and control designs.
  • Have experience with pan-tilt-zoom and professional camera systems, camera control units, and multi-camera workflows.
  • Have experience with video conferencing platforms and hardware, including Google Meet, Zoom Rooms, and hybrid meeting technologies.
  • Have experience with live streaming workflows, including encoders and encoding settings, and contribution and delivery protocols such as RTMP, SRT, and HLS.
  • Have knowledge of network fundamentals for AV-over-IP, including multicast, VLANs, quality of service, and bandwidth management.
  • Have experience with ticketing and workflow systems such as Jira, and building intake or request workflows within them.
  • Have experience coordinating AV contractors, integrators, and labor for event coverage.

About the Company

Anthropic

Builds Claude AI models with a focus on safety

Anthropic builds the Claude family of AI models and sells them to businesses, software developers, and consumers, with research on making AI safe and understandable at the center of its work. In 2024 it introduced the Model Context Protocol, an open standard for connecting AI assistants to outside apps and data that OpenAI and Google adopted the next year. People use the Claude app to write and analyze files, programmers hand coding tasks to Claude Code, and companies build Claude into their own products through its API. Anthropic earns money from subscriptions, business plans, and usage-based API fees. Siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei founded Anthropic in 2021 with other former OpenAI employees, and it is based in San Francisco.
